Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Oven
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 1 pie shell 19-inch unbaked pie shell
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 eggs eggs
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This ensures that your pie bakes evenly, giving you a perfectly set filling.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once it's melted, set it aside to cool slightly. This step is crucial, as hot butter can cook the eggs if added directly.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine light corn syrup, sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and salt. Use a whisk to mix the ingredients until well combined and smooth. The mixture should be glossy and free of lumps.
- Take your unbaked pie shell and sprinkle the pecans evenly over the bottom. This way, they will float to the top as the pie cooks, creating a beautiful presentation.
- Pour the prepared filling mixture over the pecans in the pie shell. Make sure to cover them completely with the filling.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for approximately an hour. You’ll know it’s done when the center is set and doesn’t jiggle when you gently shake the pie.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack. This cooling time is essential as it allows the filling to firm up.
- For serving, consider allowing the pie to cool completely, or serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
- Enjoy your homemade Luby’s Pecan Pie with family and friends, and don’t forget to share your experience with them—it's sure to become a favorite!
